Day 186 of 364

^110:1A Psalm by David. The LORD says to my Lord, “Sit at my right hand, until I make your enemies your footstool for your feet.” ^110:2The LORD will send out the rod of your strength out of Zion. Rule among your enemies. ^110:3Your people offer themselves willingly in the day of your power, in holy array. Out of the womb of the morning, you have the dew of your youth. ^110:4The LORD has sworn, and will not change his mind: “You are a priest forever in the order of Melchizedek.” ^110:5The Lord is at your right hand. He will crush kings in the day of his wrath. ^110:6He will judge among the nations. He will heap up dead bodies. He will crush the ruler of the whole earth. ^110:7He will drink of the brook on the way; therefore he will lift up his head. ^111:1Praise the LORD! I will give thanks to the LORD with my whole heart, in the council of the upright, and in the congregation. ^111:2The LORD’s works are great, pondered by all those who delight in them. ^111:3His work is honor and majesty. His righteousness endures forever. ^111:4He has caused his wonderful works to be remembered. The LORD is gracious and merciful. ^111:5He has given food to those who fear him. He always remembers his covenant. ^111:6He has shown his people the power of his works, in giving them the heritage of the nations. ^111:7The works of his hands are truth and justice. All his precepts are sure. ^111:8They are established forever and ever. They are done in truth and uprightness. ^111:9He has sent redemption to his people. He has ordained his covenant forever. His name is holy and awesome! ^111:10The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom. All those who do his work have a good understanding. His praise endures forever! ^112:1Praise the LORD! Blessed is the man who fears the LORD, who delights greatly in his commandments. ^112:2His offspring will be mighty in the land. The generation of the upright will be blessed. ^112:3Wealth and riches are in his house. His righteousness endures forever. ^112:4Light dawns in the darkness for the upright, gracious, merciful, and righteous. ^112:5It is well with the man who deals graciously and lends. He will maintain his cause in judgment. ^112:6For he will never be shaken. The righteous will be remembered forever. ^112:7He will not be afraid of evil news. His heart is steadfast, trusting in the LORD. ^112:8His heart is established. He will not be afraid in the end when he sees his adversaries. ^112:9He has dispersed, he has given to the poor. His righteousness endures forever. His horn will be exalted with honor. ^112:10The wicked will see it, and be grieved. He shall gnash with his teeth, and melt away. The desire of the wicked will perish. ^113:1Praise the LORD! Praise, you servants of the LORD, praise the LORD’s name. ^113:2Blessed be the LORD’s name, from this time forward and forever more. ^113:3From the rising of the sun to its going down, the LORD’s name is to be praised. ^113:4The LORD is high above all nations, his glory above the heavens. ^113:5Who is like the LORD, our God, who has his seat on high, ^113:6who stoops down to see in heaven and on the earth? ^113:7He raises up the poor out of the dust, and lifts up the needy from the ash heap, ^113:8that he may set him with princes, even with the princes of his people. ^113:9He settles the barren woman in her home as a joyful mother of children. Praise the LORD! ^114:1When Israel went out of Egypt, the house of Jacob from a people of foreign language, ^114:2Judah became his sanctuary, Israel his dominion. ^114:3The sea saw it, and fled. The Jordan was driven back. ^114:4The mountains skipped like rams, the little hills like lambs. ^114:5What was it, you sea, that you fled? You Jordan, that you turned back? ^114:6You mountains, that you skipped like rams? You little hills, like lambs? ^114:7Tremble, you earth, at the presence of the Lord, at the presence of the God of Jacob, ^114:8who turned the rock into a pool of water, the flint into a spring of waters. ^115:1Not to us, LORD, not to us, but to your name give glory, for your loving kindness, and for your truth’s sake. ^115:2Why should the nations say, “Where is their God, now?” ^115:3But our God is in the heavens. He does whatever he pleases. ^115:4Their idols are silver and gold, the work of men’s hands. ^115:5They have mouths, but they don’t speak. They have eyes, but they don’t see. ^115:6They have ears, but they don’t hear. They have noses, but they don’t smell. ^115:7They have hands, but they don’t feel. They have feet, but they don’t walk, neither do they speak through their throat. ^115:8Those who make them will be like them; yes, everyone who trusts in them. ^115:9Israel, trust in the LORD! He is their help and their shield. ^115:10House of Aaron, trust in the LORD! He is their help and their shield. ^115:11You who fear the LORD, trust in the LORD! He is their help and their shield. ^115:12The LORD remembers us. He will bless us. He will bless the house of Israel. He will bless the house of Aaron. ^115:13He will bless those who fear the LORD, both small and great. ^115:14May the LORD increase you more and more, you and your children. ^115:15Blessed are you by the LORD, who made heaven and earth. ^115:16The heavens are the LORD’s heavens, but he has given the earth to the children of men. ^115:17The dead don’t praise the LORD, nor any who go down into silence, ^115:18but we will bless the LORD, from this time forward and forever more. Praise the LORD! ^116:1I love the LORD, because he listens to my voice, and my cries for mercy. ^116:2Because he has turned his ear to me, therefore I will call on him as long as I live. ^116:3The cords of death surrounded me, the pains of Sheol got a hold of me. I found trouble and sorrow. ^116:4Then I called on the LORD’s name: “LORD, I beg you, deliver my soul.” ^116:5The LORD is gracious and righteous. Yes, our God is merciful. ^116:6The LORD preserves the simple. I was brought low, and he saved me. ^116:7Return to your rest, my soul, for the LORD has dealt bountifully with you. ^116:8For you have delivered my soul from death, my eyes from tears, and my feet from falling. ^116:9I will walk before the LORD in the land of the living. ^116:10I believed, therefore I said, “I was greatly afflicted.” ^116:11I said in my haste, “All people are liars.” ^116:12What will I give to the LORD for all his benefits toward me? ^116:13I will take the cup of salvation, and call on the LORD’s name. ^116:14I will pay my vows to the LORD, yes, in the presence of all his people. ^116:15Precious in the LORD’s sight is the death of his saints. ^116:16LORD, truly I am your servant. I am your servant, the son of your servant girl. You have freed me from my chains. ^116:17I will offer to you the sacrifice of thanksgiving, and will call on the LORD’s name. ^116:18I will pay my vows to the LORD, yes, in the presence of all his people, ^116:19in the courts of the LORD’s house, in the middle of you, Jerusalem. Praise the LORD!
